Ceres Rotation and Occator Crater (video)

Dwarf planet Ceres is shown in these false-color renderings,
which highlight differences in surface materials.

Images from NASA's Dawn
spacecraft were used to create a movie of Ceres rotating, followed by a flyover
view of Occator Crater, home of Ceres' brightest area.

Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission
Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery
Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in
Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace
Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space
Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international
partners on the mission team. For a complete list of acknowledgments, see http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission.
